Consumer Acceptability and Color of Deep‐Fried Fish Coated with Wheat or Corn Distillers’Dried Grains with Solubles (DDGS)

ABSTRACTDistillers’dried grains with solubles (DDGS) from hard red wheat, soft white wheat and corn were used at a substitution level of 25 by weight for all‐purpose flour in a conventional batter mix for fried fish. Fried fish nuggets (Alaskan pollock) prepared with a 25 DDGS batter either with or without a Japanese‐style Panko breading were evaluated by a consumer panel (N = 2,546) for acceptability.

However, products coated with batter and then with Panko breading were rated differently: the corn DDGS coated sample was rated higher than the control, while the white and red wheat DDGS coated samples received the lowest ratings. International color measurements of the dry batter mixes and the fried fish nuggets containing DDGS were darker than the con
